Geeze it'd be nice to find at least one boat ramp near Townsville that has a boarding/tie up jetty alongside. This is a basic safety issue as much as it is a nicety.
I can't get my wife to come out in the boat with me because of our crap ramps (she actually does like to come out in the boat) & this then means I can't take my 5 year old with me because somebody needs to watch him whilst I watch the water and he's too small to hold the boat whilst I park the trailer. Isn't the old addage "Families that play together stay together?" I dislike the inference that fishing is a selfish pursuit and I'm sure that if small things like this were addressed, we'd see more families enjoying themselves on the water.
I'm also yet to find a ramp nearby with washdown facilities.
I bet this isn't much different to your area.
Isn't there an election coming up?
